Oh hello, I was just channel hopping when I stumbled across Viceland (sky758) its showing 5 episodes of Tokyo Ghoul tonight (season 1 3-7) and following it with 5 episodes of Cowboy Be-bop.

Will add this channel to my fav. list and will post if they show more.

Now we call this being woke.

The last time Momo saw her father they had a fight - and now all she has left to remember him by is an incomplete letter, a blank piece of paper penned with the words "Dear Momo" but nothing more.

Moving with her mother to the remote Japanese island of Shio, Momo soon discovers three yokai living in her attic, a trio of mischievous spirit creatures that only she can see and who create mayhem in the tiny seaside community as she tries desperately to keep them hidden.

Whilst not really up to Ghibli standards it was rather good, nice clean animation with a sad but life affirming story.

My only complaint was that the English dub made the Yokai hard to understand at times other than that a solid 8/10.

Fun Fact: I had no idea, from reading Toyko Ghoul vol.13 that THIS volume was to be the final volume of the series.

How did it fair? Without spoilers, this was an ending. I imagine given it's nature, this was probably very controversial among the more die hard fanbase. I'd expressed before how some panels were too busy and/or chaotic, so much so that the scene of motion it was depicting was almost incomprehensible. This Volume cranks that up to 11. Half of the Volume is blur of swirling lines and limbs somehow being severed. Of Mortal wounds you only see from their fallout, not the actual hit itself.

Obviously the big question when discussing a finale is does it end the story, wrap up plot threads etc. For three characters this volume is The End... Not to put too fine a point on it.

As for plot thread resolution, only the immediate one it posed in the previous volume, the outcome of this battle. If anything the final few pages throw out several threads that only deepen the plot. I was trailing off in all fairness and now I have it all I may go back and re-read the whole thing to completion. In the meantime, based purely on what I've just read 5/10

I think if Goku is going to beat Jiren then he is going to have to activate and maintain Ultra Instinct, while Super Sayian Blue, while pushing Kaio Ken to x20. Because you know Jiren has forms that are yet to be revealed. He seemed like he was just getting started.

Also can someone please push the woman who keeps shooting love arrows all the time off the stage. I'm so tired of her.

Well seems Frieza is set to give some energy. So Can see him getting back in the game pretty quickly though looks like hit is taking on Jiren next, I can maybe see a large scale collective attack on Jiren after fighting with hit which will wipe out a lot of opponents.

Hopefully next time Goku reaches Ultimate Instinct he will be able to maintain it, plus with Saiyan strength increasing after every defeat should make their next battle even more epic.

I can maybe see them both going to a time over the with the threat of both universes being wiped out they will turn on the angels.

Maybe I'm reaching, but I think Ultra Instinct was Goku at he's base form - no Super Sayian. I don't think Ultra Instinct in and of itself is a new form, I think it's a new power that Goku has tapped in to. If you think about all the levels of Super Sayian that he has, think of them as each one breaks the new level cap.

Go with me on this but like Super Sayian 1 is level 50, SS2 is level 60, etc. I don't think Ultra Instinct is a new level cap, I think it's a boost, or a buff to keep to video game terminology, to Goku at level 10. If that makes sense. If peak level Super Sayian is Goku with maximum health bar, and Kaio Ken is Goku with maximum mana, I think Ultra Instinct is Goku with maximum stats. Which means I think he will be able to go Super Sayian while also activating Ultra Instinct.

Which begs the question, who are they going to come up with to fight Goku when he goes Super Sayian Blue, plus Kaio Ken x20, plus Ultra Instinct?

Yeah, back when they were training with whis he mentioned that they needed to tap into the ability of movement without thought or something like that, thats clearly what this is, and by the looks of it an ability even gods of destruction find it hard to achieve.

which if its not a new power level as you say then adding forms on top of it will make him a monster that being said if he was in his base form then when toppo and the other character rushed him he might have been able to block them but their power would have overwhelmed him.

so im sure it does also provide a large power boost as well as technique.

Really hard to say where to start, My first experience was Z many years back and just remembered being blown away by the action.

But I guess it really depends on you, do you like light hearted anime as much as action, ie goofy kid and friends go on an adventure or more action based?

If the former the original Dragonball has some really entertaining parts, but get a lot more like Z in the second half of seasons. the thing I like about starting with the original is the character building between the characters, but you really wont miss any underlying story jumping straight into Z.

Regarding Z you have 2 options

The original series or the renamed Dragon ball Kai which is essentially a remaster of Z taking out a lot but not all the filler content.
Many people jumping into the series today prefer the later, given my first experience was the former it remains my favourite plus i like the original animation.

Super is great but i feel you definitely need more of an understanding of Z to get whats going on.

Think in next post going to list the Saga's and mark what I feel is essential Whats not.

* personally I found the red ribbon saga way to long but it does introduce some fun background characters who will be referenced at points in Z, and it does give a loose background to the Androids in Z, certainly found General Blue totally skippable.
